Newly updated for the 2023-24 academic year!  Have you ever wondered what other courses exist that relate to environmental science and environmental design?  Luckily, you do not have to go through the entire KSU Course Catalog.  Click to view courses -- spread throughout the colleges and campuses -- that have an environmental focus.  You may be surprised at amount and diversity of offerings!

We also feature relevant Special Topics courses, which are not described in the Course Catalog.
